In a nod to our founder’s ancestral roots, strom is the German word for stream. While the German translation of our founder’s family name reads, “a cool river or stream,” that is only a small part of our story. When considering our approach to markets, a river or stream is the perfect representation. We do not seek to fight the powerful tendency of markets to trend. It is our goal to ebb and flow with the contours of our reality, while also maintaining a watchful eye for any potential buildups. In this sense, water is a force to be reckoned with and, after enough erosion takes place, the most powerful developments often come when a dam breaks. As it pertains to our desired return profile, it is when the proverbial dam breaks that we seek to generate outsized returns.
